Sights and celebrations
We’ve just had the pleasure of tasting some superb wines from some great Australian wine producers, who called Faraway Bay their home for a few days.
Robert Hill Smith from Yalumba Wines and a fantastic group of friends certainly kept us on our toes during their stay. Lots of sightseeing and celebrating – everything from great walks and exploring rock art, to celebrating Peter’s 60th Birthday (which is probably still taking place!).
We’ve also been pleased to host Monte Dwyer and his friend Paul from Darwin. They captured on camera the incredible scenery and unique experience of staying at Faraway Bay, as they shot scenes for an upcoming episode of ‘Postcards’ TV. Keep an eye out here on our Blog for details of when it will hit the small screen!

A painted ship on an ocean
July has proved to be a gem. Glassy oceans has given our guests the opportunity to explore this remote coastline and surrounds.
Fishing has been excellent and some guests had the pleasure of travelling out to Leseure Island for a look around at the plethora of shells, turtles and unique crystal clear lagoons. A mummified shark was found along with baby turtle shells.
Graeme Edwards and his lovely wife Noelene blessed us with their presence at the camp. Graeme, a double amputee, finally got to see rock art, something that has been on his wish list throughout his full life.
Bruce and Liuda, from Cairns had a break from catching all the Barramundi in Cape York to catch a few for us over in this neck of the woods.
We were also able to showcase some of our freshly shucked oysters to Glyn and Pam Owen who are Oyster Farmers from Coffin Bay.
Idyllic Kimberly days, restful, peaceful, plentiful...
